The surrogacy agency I work with does not give out 1099 forms. The contract will have the compensation be for pain and suffering or pre-birth child support. Do I have to pay taxes on the compensation and how would I do that if needed.

Yes, it goes on Line 8 of Schedule 1 as 'Other Income' (one-time event compensation). You are required by law to report and pay taxes on all your taxable income, whether or not the IRS gets notice of the income from the agency. This applies to a surrogacy payment without a 1099 just as it applies to payment "under the table" for working off the books, or reporting and paying taxes on tips. This is also true even if the payment is reported to you as 'pain and suffering'.
